Need Torque Spec: 135i Brembo Caliper

[ferocity02]

What is the torque spec for the 10mm socket head cap screws that hold the 135i front Brembo caliper to the caliper bracket?

Thanks!

Thanks!

I use 110 Nm (81 lbf ft), but I don't think there is an official number.

Where did that come from?

I ended up using 60 ft-lb. I did not feel comfortable going higher than that. I also chased all the threads and reinstalled with anti-seize. I was lucky to get them out without the bolts breaking. Lots of PB Blaster and patience. I then read that removing these bolts and the 4 pins that hold in the pads is not recommended. So on the other caliper I'm not going to remove any if those. You can get the pads in/out without removing the pins.

Same as the caliper bracket-to-knuckle torque.

Thanks but that doesn't show the 10mm SHCS torque. I think that's because they are not supposed to be removed.

Also interesting that it says not to use anti-squeak compound. I certainly did. Oh well.
